Adjustment
Introduction
Your FasTrak 48/54 was adjusted before it left the factory and was checked during pre delivery setup. However,
after start-up and continued use, a certain amount of break-in wear will cause some adjustments to change.
Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling a problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormal
wear or damage. A good time to detect potential problems is while performing scheduled maintenance service. Cor-
recting the problem as quickly as possible is the best insurance.
Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially in the engine and under the seat platform areas; minute
dust particle are abrasive to close-tolerance engine and hydraulic assemblies.
Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled person-
nel. Consult your Hustler service center when assistance is needed.
Seat adjustment
The seat can be adjusted forward and rearward by sliding the seat release handle and moving the seat until a com-
fortable operating position is attained (FIG. 58).
Control lever adjustment
The control levers can be adjusted for operator comfort. By loosening the cap screws that attaches the upper control
lever to the lower lever (FIG. 59), the upper control lever can be pivoted to fit the operator’s personal preference.
The control levers can also be adjusted up and down. Remove the cap screws and slide the upper control lever up
or down and align the holes in it with the holes in lower lever. Re-install the cap screws and tighten.
The control levers should be adjusted so that they align with each other when in the neutral position (FIG. 60).
